IN RE JAVIER ABELARDO TORRES, Relator


Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus




O P I N I O N

Relator, Javier Abelardo Torres, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court to order the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division Board of Classification and Records (TDCJ) to correct his time credits. This Court has no authority to grant mandamus relief against the TDCJ. There is no basis for this Court to enforce its jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a) (Vernon Supp. 2002); In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding). Nor does appellant complain about a district or county court judge. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon Supp. 2002).

We dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Cohen, Jennings, and Radack .

Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.
